    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    Agree with the first part, I think the second is (46*45*44)/6*4*2 though like I mentioned above and I'll quote below In my original post I think I made a calculation wrong and (46*45*44)/6*4*2 should equal 1897.5 instead of 3795. But it looks like I did it right in my final answer which...

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    Because I am using all permutations of three pairs (Part B) divided all permutations of possible three two cards hands (Part A). You have to consider the total number of ways for both of your sets. If I am using 52*51*50*49*48*47 for Part A I have to include all possible ways the pairs can...

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    I don't agree with the last three It needs to be 6/46 for the first number because it doesn't matter which player's pair the first card of the flop matches. There are 6 cards that could be drawn to makes someone's three of a kind. After someone makes three of a kind, there are only 4 cards...

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    I don't think this is correct either for calculating the odds of 3 pocket pairs, but your idea should work when done correctly. Your approach I think was to divide the number of possible permutations of three consecutive pairs (Part B) into the number of possible pairs (Part A), but I think...

    Asian Markets Opportunities

    Curious to everyone's opinions on trading the Asian markets. Is there really a lot of opportunity/inefficiencies in some of these 'emerging' markets or is hype overblown? Input welcome.

    Non Compete Agreements

    I am curious if anyone here that works as a prop trader for a true prop firm, or has received an offer, has signed a non compete agreement. If so, when did you sign and how long is your non compete duration? Just taking a survey here, thanks!

    Debunking Myths - Is trading really a Zero Sum game

    All I'm saying is the process of trading is zero sum, e.g. there is no value created in trading itself. The only value created is by those managing the companies the market trades and their corresponding profits, but all of that is outside the realm of the stock exchanges. The process of...

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    Right, 51 cards left total. Right, so we are looking for 48 possible cards. 48/51. I have no idea why you're multiplying two probabilities together; this is just counting.

    Poker Question - What are the odds?

    Agreed I don't understand this. There are 51 cards left in the deck at this point, 48 of which are a different number than the first card, therefore the probability of a unique card is 48/51. Same here, 50 cards left, 44 of which are of a different numbers than the first two since we have...

    Debunking Myths - Is trading really a Zero Sum game

    Trading is zero sum. As per a rebuttal to an answer in a similar conversation I had on yahoo answers, someone posted: "The stock market is NOT a zero sum game. If it was, there would be no long term investors. IPO: Jim buys at $55 Jim sells to Tom at $60 Tom sells to Bill at $70 Bill is...
